Don't think so. Currently in Calc the page "Style" entry on the status bar
reflects the *active* sheet with cursor focus, even with multiple sheets
selected. 

And currently the Sytlist allows applying a sheet style to a selection of
sheets. Assume in implementing it that a selector on the status bar would do
the same, work against a selection of sheets.

So while having selector in context menu entry at the Sheet tab would be good
for styling a single sheet (though not simply the "Page Style..." dialog)
adding the page style selector to the status bar as for bug 87750 would offer a
more efficient UI to style a full spreadsheet document. Also more
discoverable/better feed back when applied--annotated onto the Status bar for
each sheet.
